Estonian government doubles support for starting farmers

Estonian Cabinet amended 2007-2013 Rural Development Plan to provide additional finance in amount of five million euros to Estonian farmers who are just starting out in the business, the Estonian national broadcasting corporation ERR said in a report.

The support will be provided to
less than 40 farmers, writes LETA.

To perform the measure, two
programs of less importance will have their budgets cut by 2.5 million euros
each.

Circular economy for modern growth: EU and the Baltics EU’s circular economy plans are aimed at efficient use of natural resources and raw materials, waste disposal, while fostering energy savings and reducing CO2. Adequate actions in the Baltic States would contribute to “closing the loop” of product lifecycles through greater recycling and re-use, while bringing benefits to environment, business and economic growth.
